House Arrest

 Some of my teachers and students love books written with free verse poems. K.A. Holt in "House Arrest" does a brilliant job of telling a heart warming and heart breaking story this way.

What kind of person is under house arrest? I am sure you are thinking of someone who has done something awful. Our main character, Timothy, is a thief so he is to be punished with house arrest for a year. However when you have a sick baby brother who needs medicine and a mother has no money, what would you do when a wallet is right in front of you?
